Right, because Galvatron was a headmaster in G1 too

Wolfman Jake wrote:Once again, I'll defend Titans Return Quickswitch. Yes, he would be better if he were a new mold, or more extensively remolded to give him his classic G1 modes, or even just moderately remolded, like keeping the new helmet that we saw in the original mock-ups or retooling the wolf head to look more like a puma. But what we have is pretty nice it its own right. The paintwork on the figure is EXTENSIVE. There's a lot of appreciated effort just there. Plus, it doesn't take much to mess around with the "official" transformation for robot mode and make a few critical alternations to his sillouhette to differentiate him more from Six Shot on your shelves. I fold the back wings down to hide them, keep the shoulder/pectoral wings tucked away, and turn the shoulder pylons around to make the wheels face the backwards. The result looks VERY much like G1 Quickswitch in robot mode, if he were redesigned to look less awkwardly chunky. As a bonus to anyone getting Takara's Six Shot release, that will make Quickswitch's helmet more distinct looking as well since Takara opted to retool their Six Shot's helmet. TR Quickswitch is more than meets the eye.

Sixknight would require far, far, far more retooling than Greatshot.

Because TR Quickswitch doesn't look like Quickswitch or Sixknight. If we're going the route of ignoring the molding changes they'd need, then by this logic they could simply do up Sixshot in Greatshot colours with no molding differences -- and that would be more accurate to Greatshot than TR Quickswitch is to Quickswitch.

Your right! probably not gonna happen
But ya never know
Have we been surprised before?
Takara at least tries for 100% with what they have to work with, though, even if they can only achieve 90% or even 80%. With the Sixshot mold, though, they wouldn't even bother trying to make it into Sixknight since Sixshot and Sixknight have completely different silhouettes in every regard. A Sixshot wearing Sixknight's colors does not make a proper Sixknight, it simply makes a Sixshot wearing Sixknight's colors, just like how TR Quickswitch just resembles a Sixshot wearing Quickswitch's colors (even if they are very pretty colors) instead of actually looking like Quickswitch.Ultra Markus wrote:Kurona wrote:Ultra Markus wrote:how so if they use the TR quickswitch Figure I don't see much more retooling neededKurona wrote:Ultra Markus wrote:yeah but takara could just do some minor retool to make sixnight more accurate rather than doing extensive retools for greatshotSabrblade wrote:Considering how poor a representation of Quickswitch that TR Quickswitch was, being a mere head retool of Sixshot rather than a brand new completely different mold, I doubt Takara would even attempt to use any version of the Sixshot mold to make Sixknight, given how slavishly reverent Takara is to the source material.Ultra Markus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Not sure how it would be.

Yeah but none of these figures from hasbro or takara are 100 percent toy or show accurate anyway sure some look closer than others and some are way off why would this be any different

The head of Starscream's ghost? Or maybe Skuxxoid?

Kind of disappointed that they didn't give Perceptor a new head/face-sculpt. Whoever keeps sculpting these extreme cheekbones (MP-11, MP-12, UW04-Hook, etc) -- stop.
